Miniature Hikeswas an
enthusiastically attended public art installation project run in
Wellington over two summers (2014-16). A celebration of the love
shared by New Zealanders for the backcountry, the project consisted
of seven miniature huts installed in Wellington green spaces. Each
hut represented a different aspect of backcountry experiences, such
as safety, unexpected discoveries, scientific research and the power
of nature. Relying almost entirely on locally salvaged materials the
huts were bright, well crafted, durable and interactive. Hundreds of
visitors signed the many logbooks and shared their journeys online.
Photographs of the huts were exhibited in the Courtenay Place
Lightboxes for the 2014/15 summer months and the project was
concluded with the launch of the project publication, All Materials
Salvaged.
